#1 Interesting tidbit: The National Guard manned a good part of these tests. Colorado Army Nationa Guard (CO-ARNG) has a couple of very interesting units in addition to the 3/19 SF.

193rd Space Battalion

This Colorado Army National Guard battalion provides space-based support to designated ground forces commanders in support of Army operations. This battalion demonstrates that citizen-Soldiers can bring space capabilities to the Army and leverages the expertise and experience in space that these citizen-Soldiers gain in their civilian jobs.

The 100th Missile Defense Brigade (Ground-based Midcourse Defense), Colorado Army National Guard, provides oversight of the Soldiers trained to operate the nations limited missile defense capability. The brigade comes under the overall direction of the responsible combatant commander during an operational mission.
